Vegan Sandwiches Save the Day Giveaway!

Hey kids! It's a giveaway!

That's right! You can win your very own copy of Celine Steen and Tamasin Noyes' fabulous new cook book Vegan Sandwiches Save the Day! I was first got acquainted with this project when Tami contacted me seeking permission to use the "steam, then bake" method of my veggie lunch meat. I said yes, of course, since sharing recipes and methods is what the vegan blog community is all about (after all, the veggie lunch meat itself was a version of Julie Hasson's sausages). So, there I am on p. 183 with a "huge thanks" from the authors (the nod to Julie Hasson is on the previous page). I reviewed Tami's previous cookbook back in 2010, and I emailed back and forth with Celine back when I first started my blog. So, every though we have never met in person, I feel like I am sharing in the great success of some good friends.

The first thing that strikes you about this book is the art. Celine took all the photos and they are perfection. Combined with Debbie Berne's book and cover design, the book is a visual feast.
As you can see from the table of contents, Celine and Tami have redefined what "sandwich" means. Turns out, you can eat sandwiches for every meal of the day! You could start with Berry-Stuffed French Toast Pockets for breakfast, eat a Ratatouille Sandwich for lunch, move on to Chickpea Shawarma for dinner, and end the day with Oreo Wafflewiches. Yes, please!

The book also has the basics covered, from bread (I would have liked to see more recipes, but I know baking scares many people off), to several veggie meats. Scattered throughout the book are various dressings, spreads, pates, and toppings. There really is something for everyone here.

CONTEST DETAILS:Residents of Canada and the U.S. only, please.
To enter, leave a comment about the book in the comment section below by 6:00 pm EST November 12. One entry per person. Each entry will be assigned a number, and the winner chosen by a random number generator. Good luck!
